Expert Marine Fabrication Ship Repair in Fareham, Hampshire

Why does 'coded welding' matter? Well, if you're dealing with insurance companies or maritime registries like Lloyd’s, they don't just want the job done—they want it certified. Our team consists of highly skilled coded welders who work to BS EN 1090-1 standards and Execution Class 2 (EXC2). This means every weld we perform on your ship’s structure, from shell plating to bulkheads, meets the highest industry benchmarks for safety and strength. It's the difference between a patch that might hold and a repair that's guaranteed to withstand the forces of the open sea. We've seen plenty of 'DIY' marine repairs fail under pressure, which is why we focus on precision and compliance every single time. It gives you the peace of mind that your crew and your investment are protected.

Every day your vessel is stuck in the dock is money down the drain. We understand that maritime schedules are tight, which is why we've invested in fully equipped mobile site welding units. We can meet you at any marina or boatyard in Fareham, Southampton, or the surrounding counties to carry out reactive repairs on the spot. Whether it’s an emergency hull repair or a last-minute modification to your superstructure, we bring the workshop to you. Our guys are experts in MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, allowing us to work efficiently in tight engine rooms or high up on the deck. We’ve helped countless local operators get back out on the water faster than they expected, proving that expert help doesn't have to mean long delays.

Sometimes a standard part just won't cut it, especially when you're dealing with older vessels or bespoke designs. We specialise in custom marine fabrication, using high-grade 316 stainless steel and marine-grade aluminium to ensure your fittings look great and resist corrosion. Do you need a new set of bow thruster housings installed? Or perhaps some heavy-duty steel staircases and balustrades for a commercial ferry? We handle the design, fabrication, and fitting. Our CNC profiling and cutting services allow us to create perfectly shaped hull plates and internal components that fit like a glove. From ballast tanks to intricate deck railings, we treat every piece of metal with the same level of care and engineering expertise.

We're proud to be a local business serving the thriving maritime community across Fareham, Hampshire, and the wider South Coast. Being based so close to the water means we can be on-site quickly, whether you're at a local marina or one of the major commercial docks. Our experience spans a huge range of projects—we've worked on everything from small fishing boats to large industrial vessels. We also provide support for dry-docking periods, helping you tick off that maintenance list efficiently so you can pass your next inspection with flying colours. We’re not just contractors; we’re your local partners in marine engineering.
